kachchi divaaron ko paani ki lahar kaaT gai — Zubair Rizvi

gulaabon ke honTon pe lab rakh rahaa huun
use der tak sochnaa chaahtaa huun

surkhiyaan akhbaar ki galiyon mein ghul karti rahin
log apne band kamron mein paDe sote rahe

auraton ki aankhon par kaale kaale chashme the sab ki sab barahana thiin
zaahidon ne jab dekhaa saahilon kaa ye manzar likh diyaa gunaahon mein

sukhan ke kuchh to guhar main bhi nazr kartaa chalun
ajab nahin ki karein yaad maah o saal mujhe

zindagi jin ki rifaaqat pe bahut naazaan thi
un se bichhDi to koi aankh mein aansu bhi nahin

ye lamha lamha takalluf ke TuTte rishte
na itne paas mire aa ki tu puraanaa lage

pyaaso raho na dasht mein baarish ke muntazir
maaro zamin pe paanv ki paani nikal paDe

sabza o gul kahaan se aae hain
abr kyaa chiiz hai havaa kyaa hai

sach ishq mein hain aashiq o maashuq baraabar
jo mushkil-e-majnun hai so hai mushkil-e-lailaa

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

duur tak chhaae the baadal aur kahin saaya na thaa
is tarah barsaat kaa mausam kabhi aayaa na thaa
